Review
I had the pleasure of watching this movie last night. I went since its a "guy" movie my husband was the one excited about it more than I was. I must say I was more than impressed with the leading men in this film. It has been a long time since a movie has had me on the edge of my seat biting my nails as this movie did during the fighting scenes. If you are looking for great acting family drama awesome fighting scenes than this is the movie for you. After we left the theater we couldn't stop talking about it. I will definitely go see it again when it comes out. We really enjoyed it! Nick Nolte was amazing and even my husband I think cried in a few scenes (last time that happened was during Marley and Me) so I must say this movie is a MUST SEE!
